Correct answer choice is :


B) It is against their customs


Step-by-step explanation:


Okonkwo is a rich and noted warrior of the Umuofia group, a lower Nigerian society that is part of a consortium of nine related villages. He is appalled by the activities of Unoka, his anxious and spendthrift father, who died in disgrace, leaving many communities accounts unresolved. Okonkwo seldom expresses his concern, however, because he worries that doing so would make him look ineffective. Furthermore, he hopes that Ezinma was a boy because she would have been the perfect son.
